Save the date for the Fourth Session of the WIPO Conversation on IP and AI!

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) will hold the Fourth Session of the WIPO Conversation on IP and AI from 22 to 23 September 2021.

The theme of the fourth session is “Data – beyond AI in a fully interconnected world”. It will be discussed “what data is and why this intangible asset increasingly matters and is changing how we do business, innovate and create. What are the key regulatory frameworks for data? How does data fit into the current IP system, and how can the IP system use data?”. The agenda, the information about the format (e.g., virtual meeting), and registration will be available afterwards.

The fourth session is organized by the IP and Frontiers Technologies Division of WIPO, which “is responsible for AI-related intellectual property policy issues” as well as other new technologies in light of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Division “will have an impact on how … IP rights [are administered] and ensure that the IP system continues to provide an ecosystem that fosters economic growth and supports all innovators and creators”.
